When I received it, it wasn't black, not a problem but there were no straps to make it a back pack. Also, granted they have the measurements on the description but the one in the photo looks at least a lot bigger than what it really is. Put it this way, if you are a BIG person, this is not the seat for you. You sit about a foot off the ground, very short seat. I am sure I can get the straps, fortunately I can sit on the seat. But again, if you are big person, forget this because it will not hold you.
